Title:
  package ttf-mscorefonts-installer (not installed) failed to
  install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error
  exit status 128

Status in “msttcorefonts” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This may have been a "time out" error as the installation of the "Ubutu restricted extras" was very slow  yesterday. The system seemed to be overloaded but wouldn't close for a long time with a "download in progress" before finally clearing and closing after some hours. I was only updating the system after upgradeing to 12.04 at the weekend. (no other problems yet).
